Keep the Sand Flowing

"Beach sand starts in the mountains and in the bluffs adjacent to the beach. When you block the river flow with a dam, or divert it with a development, you cut off a beachs upstream supply. When you build a seawall, you cut off the beachs ground supply." - excerpt from the Surfrider Foundation article, "Beach Sand at the Base of the Food Chain".
